    The “everything is fault of the British” is such a cop out. India and the region had no trouble dividing themselves very publicly with caste systems, no?

    People just need education.

      The British popularized the phrase, which gives away the playbook. The rich and powerful use this playbook time and again to divide the masses. Education should help, but siloed propaganda is really effective to counter even education because propaganda uses fear & hate to bring out the animal in you, and when you’re angry and scared you forget all reason and all education.

        This playbook existed way before Britain did. Even in ancient India.

        We know for a fact that one things works against all of these playbooks - education.
